Was in an accident not that long ago. my leg is numb its like that feeling you get when your leg is sleeping and is just waking up?

See a doctor: Any type of numbness in the extremities can be a result of direct trauma or indirect sources from the upper or lower back. I would seek an answer asap because waiting may delay the healing or create a permanent injury that will not resolve.

Numbness: You have injured your back and your spinal nerve may be irritaed by pressure on it from a displaced or injured vertebra.
